Questions and answers

How well does Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask work for oily skin?

This mask is an average fit for oily skin because it offers moderate exfoliation and hydration to smooth texture, though it lacks targeted ingredients to manage oily shine specifically. A cleansing mask for this skin needs ingredients like BHA and blue tansy or other pore-refining and clarifying properties to handle excess oil.

Nutrients, 2024

Which ingredients make this cleansing mask a good fit for oily skin?

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract and Saccharum Officinarum Extract help smooth your oily skin texture by providing gentle exfoliation, alongside glycerin which adds moisture. Because it lacks ingredients to manage oily shine specifically, a cleansing mask for this skin needs pore-refining and clarifying ingredients like BHA and blue tansy.

Nutrients, 2024Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2011

What does Alpha Hydroxy Acid do for oily skin?

Alpha Hydroxy Acid helps clear clogged pores and smooth oily skin while calming redness. This type of ingredient works best when it also includes soothing agents and barrier-strengthening ingredients to keep the skin balanced and comfortable.

Journal of Dermatological Science, 2017

What does Volcanic Rock do for oily skin?

Volcanic Rock helps clear away excess oil and dead skin cells to leave oily skin feeling fresh and smooth. Because it is a strong physical exfoliator, it may sometimes irritate sensitive skin if used too roughly. A product for this skin type needs gentle exfoliating ingredients like salicylic acid to clear pores without harsh scrubbing.

Where does this cleansing mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This cleansing mask fits into a weekly routine for oily skin, where it is used once a week after cleansing and an enzyme powder, and followed by a hydrating toner, treatment, and moisturizer. Because this product offers only a moderate fit and lacks targeted ingredients for oily shine, an oily skin routine also needs ingredients that manage excess oil and reduce shine.

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this mask in your weekly routine, but avoid applying it on the same nights you use retinol to help prevent irritation. This mask provides moderate exfoliation, so alternating nights with retinol is safer for your skin.

How often should I use it?

This cleansing mask works once a week as part of your weekly routine, which is when exfoliating steps like this are safely started for oily skin. If your skin tolerates it well and you see good results, you may carefully use it more often.

Can this cleansing mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This cleansing mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin since it is safe and free of harsh ingredients, though it lacks targeted ingredients to control shine. To better manage excess oil, oily skin needs a product with ingredients that specifically balance sebum production.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
